PROJECT DESCRIPTION (continued):
B. Project Summary
The applicant is requesting approval of a modification to the existing Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) for a convenience market that includes the sale of beer and wine at a service station
(Exhibit 6). No modification to the existing fuel dispensers is proposed.
C. Zoning Compliance
The sale of beer and wine at a service station requires approval of a CUP in the C-1 zone.
The existing use is operating with an approved CUP from 1970 (Exhibit 4). The proposed
project includes a modification to the existing CUP for expansion of the existing
convenience market into three existing automotive service bays.
DISCUSSION:
A. Zoning
The sale of beer and wine at a service station is allowed as a conditional use in the C-1 zone,
requiring approval of a CUP. The existing service station is operating with an approved CUP
from 1970 (Exhibit 4). The proposed project includes a modification to the existing CUP for
a convenience market that includes the sale of beer and wine at a service station. The
proposed project includes expansion of the existing convenience market into three existing
automotive service bays and would not result in an increase in the existing building square
footage or lot coverage.
The project complies with the zoning requirements related to lot coverage, building height,
parking, and circulation. The applicant is not requesting any exceptions or Variances to the
Town Code.
B. Conditional Use Permit
The existing service station is operating under CUP application, U-70-7, approved by the
Planning Commission on May 27, 1970 (Exhibit 4). On February 27, 1985, the Planning
Commission denied a request to modify the existing CUP to convert an existing salesroom
into a convenience market. On May 6, 1985, the Town Council denied the appeal of the
Planning Commission decision to deny the CUP (Exhibit 5). Presently, there is a convenience
market on the property. The property owner does not have information as to when the
conversion of the sales room to a convenience market occurred and stated that the
condition was present when the property was purchased in 2007. The applicant has stated
that with the retirement of the operator of the automotive service bays, and with a
PAGE 4 OF 8
SUBJECT: 666 North Santa Cruz Avenue/U-22-004
DATE: March 8, 2024
DISCUSSION (continued):
change in the technology of automobiles, an expanded convenience store is a better fit for
the neighborhood and in keeping with the commercial character of the zone (Exhibit 6).
Additionally, the Town has no Building or Planning permit records that the conversion of the
sales room into a convenience store was done with the benefit of a permit.
In order to grant approval of a CUP for the proposed use, the deciding body must make the
following findings:
1. The proposed use of the property is essential or desirable to the public convenience or
welfare;
2. The proposed use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone;
3. The proposed use would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare;
and
4. The proposed use of the property is in harmony with the various elements or objectives
of the General Plan and the purposes of the Town Code.
In regard to the first finding, the proposed modifications would be considered desirable to
the public convenience or welfare in that the modification would provide convenience
goods to residents and visitors. As required by finding two, the proposed modification to
the existing use would not impair the integrity and character of the zone since the existing
use is located in a commercial zone. In regard to the third finding, the proposed
modifications to the existing use would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or
general welfare. In regard to the final finding, the proposed use meets the objectives of the
General Plan and Town Code as described in this report.
Pursuant to Section 29.20.197 of the Town Code, the deciding body must also consider the
following factors:
1. The number of locations of retail on-sale and off-sale licenses to sell alcohol located
within a reasonable distance, generally one mile, of the proposed location;
2. The proximity of the location to schools, public parks, playgrounds, youth-oriented
facilities, and residential neighborhoods. Generally, beer and wine sales within 500 feet
of school, public park, playground, or youth-oriented uses should not be allowed;
3. Hours of operation and of alcohol sales;
4. Past history of businesses on the property; and
5. History of loitering and police activity in the general neighborhood of location.
In regard to the first factor, staff researched the number of active retail on- and off-sale
Alcohoic Beverage Control (ABC) licenses within one mile and determined that there are
approximately 86 active license. This approximation of active licenses includes restaurants,

SUBJECT: 666 North Santa Cruz Avenue/U-22-004
DATE: March 8, 2024
DISCUSSION (continued):
grocery stores, service stations, and a convenience store. In regard to the second factor,
there are no schools located within 500 feet of the subject property; however, Oak Meadow
Park is located within 500 feet of the subject property. In regard to the third factor, th e
hours of operation are proposed to remain the same with operating hours of 5:00 a.m. to
12:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. In
regard to the fourth factor, the service station has been at this location since 1970. Lastly,
in regard to the fifth factor, the Los Gatos Monte Sereno Police Department does not have a
record of loitering or police activity at this location. The applicant has also provided a letter
of justification in response to the additional factors for review of a CUP to sell beer and
wine at a convenience market (Exhibit 6).
Pursuant to Section 29.20.197 of the Town Code, the following conditions of approval have
been included in Exhibit 3:
1. No beer or wine shall be displayed within five feet of the cash register;
2. No advertisement or display of beer or wine shall be made outside the building in which
sales of beer and wine occur;
3. No sale of beer or wine shall be made from a drive-in window;
4. No beer or wine for sale shall be refrigerated, and no display or sale of beer or wine
shall be made from an ice tub;
5. No self-illuminated advertising for beer or wine shall be located on buildings or
windows;
6. Employees on duty between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. who may sell beer or
wine shall be at least 21 years of age;
7. There shall be no on-premises consumption of beer or wine;
8. The sale of beer and wine shall at all times be incidental to the operation of the building
as a service station. Whether the sale of beer or wine is incidental shall be determined
by measurement of the space devoted to sales of beer and wine with relation to sales of
grocery and convenience items, and the volume of sales of beer and wine with relation
to sales of other grocery and convenience items;
9. Uniformed security personnel may be required in or around the premises by the Chief of
Police if alcohol-related problems recur that are not resolved by the licensed owner;
10. At the discretion of the Chief of Police, periodic meetings will be conducted with
representatives of the Police Department for ongoing employee training on alcoholic
beverages sales to the general public; and
11. The operator shall post and maintain a warning regarding driving after consumption of
alcoholic beverages in a visible location near the cash register.

DISCUSSION (continued):
C. Design and Compatibility
The proposal will not result in an increase in the existing building height or addition to the
existing building, rather an interior and exterior renovation of the existing convenience
market into the three existing automotive service bays will be done (Exhibits 6 and 7). The
proposed exterior finishes include tile wainscot, wood panel lap siding, wood trim, and
aluminum windows in a dark bronze color. The existing tile roofing is proposed to remain
(Exhibit 8).
The proposed exterior modifications to the existing building are consistent with the
applicable provisions of the Commercial Design Guidelines to provide a unified design
around all sides of the building and to utilize high quality building materials. The proposed
building materials are provided on Sheet A301 of Exhibit 8 and would match the existing
materials. The only site improvement proposed as part of the project is to re-stripe the
existing off-street parking spaces to be compliant with the Town Code.
F. General Plan
The 2020 General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Neighborhood Commercial. This
designation provides for necessary day-to-day commercial goods and services required by
the residents of the adjacent neighborhoods. This designation encourages concentrated
and coordinated commercial development at easily accessible locations. In addition to
maintaining neighborhood quality, the 2020 General Plan Land Use Element focuses on
maintaining a “full-service” Town that provides a range of goods and services that support
economic vitality, while limiting adverse impacts on the quality of life of all the residents.
Applicable goals and policies of the 2020 General Plan Land Use and Community Design
Elements include, but are not limited to the following:
• Policy LU-2.1: Minimize vehicle miles traveled for goods and services by allowing and
encouraging stores that provide these goods within walking distance of neighborhoods
in Los Gatos;
• Goal LU-4: To provide for well-planned, careful growth that reflects the Town’s existing
character and infrastructure;
• Goal LU-9: To provide residents with adequate commercial and industrial services;
• Policy LU-9.4: Encourage existing light industry and service commercial uses to remain
or be replaced with similar uses;
• Policy LU-9.5: Encourage the development and retention of locally owned stores and
shops;
PAGE 7 OF 8
SUBJECT: 666 North Santa Cruz Avenue/U-22-004
DATE: March 8, 2024
DISCUSSION (continued):
• Policy LU-9.8: Retail sales tax “leakage” should be kept to a minimum by providing in-
town convenience and comparative shopping opportunities;
• Policy CD-1.1: Building elements shall be in proportion with those traditionally in the
neighborhood;
• Policy CD-1.2: New structures, remodels, landscapes, and hardscapes shall be designed
to harmonize and blend with the scale and rhythm of the neighborhood and natural
features in the area;
• Policy CD-1.4: Development on all elevations shall be of high-quality design and
construction, a positive addition to and compatible with the Town’s ambiance.
Development shall enhance the character and unique identity of existing commercial
and/or residential neighborhoods; and
• Goal CD-8: Promote, enhance and protect the appearance of the Los Gatos’s
commercial areas.
G. Parking
The proposed use requires 10 parking spaces. The proposal includes 10 compliant on-site
parking spaces.

LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION
1.Convenience store use is a desirable use at this location. Today those people coming into the gas
station expect a nice convenience store with the usual chips, drinks and other snacks. As well as
commonly needed items found in grocery stores. This saves them added time driving to other
stores and waiting in longer lines. Today convenience stores are even adding hot food items also.
2.The proposed uses will not impair the integrity and character of the zone. The current operator of
the repair shop is retiring from this work, and so the auto repair shop is closing. Over the last 40
years the fuel station has taken on a new look. It is no longer the “service” station like it was. Car
technology has changed this. They are now more of a convenience store. This model has proven to
be a profitable change for the industry. Today it is more typical to see a convenience store than a
car repair shop at a fuel station. With the repair shop empty the owner needs to change his model
and expand into the convenience store. The character found within the zone will not be changed by
this change. The building architecture will not be modified that much. The large door openings will
be replaced with windows and the exterior wainscot will be updated.
3.The proposed uses would not be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare. This
proposed renovation will bring this property up to current code requirements for safety, health and
general welfare. The restrooms will be accessed from the interior which is a deterrent for those
who tend to hang around and use them without being a client of the facility.
4.The proposed uses of the property are in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the
general plan and the purposes of this chapter. We feel that this use fits into the services that are
allowed in the general plan and the design keeps the small town character of the neighborhood.
Convenience stores are a use found within this zone.
5.A hazardous waste facility proposal is subject to the California Health and Safety code and with
Santa Clara County Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The current fuel station is already
following the guidelines of these codes and has a Hazardous waste management plan.
Sincerely,
Kurt Wagenknecht

this 500’. The drive entrance is further away. The Vasona Lake County park is further away.
3. Hours of operation: The hours of operation will remain as they have been.
Monday-Friday: 5am to Midnight
Saturday- Sunday: 6am to Midnight
4. The past history of business at this location. The fuel station and auto repair has been there
since 1970 and is a vital part of the neighborhood.
5. History of Loitering and police activity. While there have been some loitering and some police
calls, this location is on the low side of police activity this is true for this neighborhood as well.
(b) When reviewing an application to sell beer and wine for consumption off-premises at a service
station, the deciding body shall impose the following conditions and operating standards: The
owners agrees with these provisions.

measurement of the space devoted to sales of beer and wine with relation to sales of grocery
and convenience items, and the volume of sales of beer and wine with relation to sales of other
grocery and convenience items.
9) Uniformed security personnel may be required in or around the premises by the Chief of
Police if alcohol-related problems recur that are not resolved by the licensed owner.
10) At the discretion of the Chief of Police, periodic meetings will be conducted with
